Looking further into the DeDRM plugin for calibre, it can use a key file for books downloaded for the Kindle app on Android. You need to install and run abd to create this file, and it works like a serial number for a dedicated Kindle. I have not tried doing this yet, and the documentation indicates that it is not known whether it will work for the Fire.
